In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder. Here are people who can no longer recognize everyday objects or those they love; who are stricken with violent tics or shout involuntary obscenities, and yet are gifted with unusually acute artistic or mathematical talents. If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human. A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist. Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature. Review: Awesome read - A great mixture of bite size case histories that never the less somehow inform each other, all told with a humanistic and engaging tone. Just enough technical language mixed with amazing insights into how our minds are and what it all could mean. Review: Interesting cases, could’ve been shorter - Very interesting cases, but Sacks’ excessive use of em dashes was distracting. The book could have been much shorter without the redundant over-descriptions of how strange the case is or how the patient must feel—sometimes going on for two pages after the conclusion. ## Features - Item Trademark: PICADOR - manufacturer: Picador - Item Weight: grams, pounds, 0.45856150496, 208. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,379 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Neuropsychology #4 in Neurology #8 in Literary Essays & Correspondence | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,079 Reviews | ## Images ![Picador The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ku0JJRoaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome read *by P***L on 30 August 2020* A great mixture of bite size case histories that never the less somehow inform each other, all told with a humanistic and engaging tone.
